Autor: Taylor, Erin Brooke
Resumo: Drawing upon three research projects in the Dominican Republic and Haiti over the past eight years, this paper examines the utility of a materialist approach to understanding how social relations are negotiated and interpreted among different strata and institutions. Throughout my fieldwork in multiple sites on the island of Hispaniola, materiality repeatedly emerged as a means through which research participants' socio-economic lives are shaped. I demonstrate how factors such as race, class, gender, and nationality intersect with social-material life to create stratifying effects. At the same time, people use material forms in positive ways to develop meanings and values, practice social relations, mitigate the effects of alienation, and obtain socio-economic mobility. I move away from the concept of stratification in favour of the more encompassing term “moral economy,” which has two advantages : a) in referring to processes of social formation, it acknowledges power relations without denying agency to less powerful social groups; b) it treats society and economy as intimately tied together, rather than as two separate social spheres, thus allowing discussion of how economic and social values combine in the production of social structure. This intertwining of different kinds of values in the term moral economy complements a material culture approach that examines things as both resources and objects replete with social meanings.2014-01-01T00:00:00ZThree Types of Transnational Players: differing women’s football mobility projects in core and developing countriesTiesler, Nina Clara, 1968-http://hdl.handle.net/10451/110682014-06-02T11:22:38Z2014-01-01T00:00:00ZTítulo: Three Types of Transnational Players: differing women’s football mobility projects in core and developing countries

Resumo: Mobile players in men’s football are highly skilled professionals who move to a country other than the one where they grew up and started their careers. They are commonly described as migrants or expatriate players. Due to a much less advanced stage of professionalism and production of the game in women’s football mobility projects are different. The percentage of cases which drop out of these concepts developed for men’s football migration increases when specifically looking at the peripheral and semi-peripheral countries. At describing the cases of Brazil, Equatorial Guinea, Mexico, Colombia and Portugal, the aim of this paper is to conceptualise an umbrella category for mobile players that can include current realities in the women’s game, namely the transnational player who has gained and displays transnational football experience in different countries and socio-culturally contexts. Analysis is based on original data on fluxes, 31 interviews with mobile players from diverse countries and secondary data material on players’ biographies. It allows pointing out some main features of the increasing international mobility of women footballers and suggests that players who are crossing borders impact significantly on the development of the game at global scale.2014-01-01T00:00:00ZGramáticas emocionais e morais no atendimento policial a vítimas.

Resumo: A legitimidade da ação policial depende da autoridade prática e crença emotiva de que os polícias podem, em última instância, abrir uma janela de possibilidades para o reconhecimento de um direito cidadão: o direito à segurança. Através de explorações etnográficas conduzidas em esquadras de polícia em Portugal e com recurso a entrevistas, proponho-me analisar neste ensaio gramáticas morais e emocionais que regem a ação prática de polícias na relação com vítimas de violência doméstica. Para tal, uso a noção teórico-metodológica de zonas de ambiguidade intersubjetiva. Defendo que a definição de policiamento depende tanto do que os polícias fazem quanto do que escolhem não fazer; o uso de algum tipo de poder é tão flagrante quanto as sucessivas narrativas e práticas da impotência dos polícias (seja esta indignada ou resignada) e de retirada da autoridade policial no ato do policiamento da violência doméstica. Mas será esta impotência manifestada tanto por polícias como por vítimas, em palavras e gestos, uma recusa ao direito da expressão emocional das vítimas?2012-01-01T00:00:00Z
